Hong Kong Retro Toy Mall

Post by Captainbubby »

I promised sending pictures about a billion years ago; Here they are! Lots of stores state "no photos", so I had to do this covertly for the most part. The retro mall is great; not just for Anime, but plenty of old school Kaiju, Marvel/DC and Japanese Superhero stuff too!

Neat! Those shelves look like they could be found in the Nakano Broadway Building in Tokyo.

Those "no photos" rules are pretty lame, huh? I've had lots of places in Tokyo telling me to put my camera away. I usually end up sneakily taking videos anyway. I bet it must burn them to know that guys like me give them international, free publicity on YouTube.

That's exactly what I thought; And this place really is just hidden away in a small nondescript building. Unfortunately, as the rather sub-par quality of the pictures can attest to, I had to do most of this covertly!
